WWE Women’s Champion Bayley is in the ring. She says next week at Clash at the Castle, she steps into unfamiliar terroritory as she faces Piper Niven for the very first time. Out comes Piper Niven with Chelsea Green onto the ramp. Green says Bayley she talks a big old game for being a big old loser. Chelsea calls the fans losers. She says Bayley was a loser in Saudi Arabia, a loser last week and she has a loser tag team partner in Naomi. And she is oging to be a loser yet again when Piper Niven finishes her and they become the new WWE Women’s Champion.
Bayley begins to laugh and says she beat her at Saudi. She can relate to her being a mouth piece but Piper does not need Chelsea. ANd unlike Chelsea, she respects Piper. And at the Mae Young Vlassic, she sat front row and saw her for the first time and respected her. She knows that for Piper, it means more than just a title for her, she iwll wrestle in front of her family and friends. And she has been there before and she has lost. She says Piper could have asked for a title match but instead she jumped her. And next week, in Piper’s country, she is going to have fun beating her.
Piper takes the microphone from Chelsea and says she is saving beating her up for next week. She says she is glad that Bayley has respect for her and she would take it more to heart if Bayley knew more about her. She says the Mae Young Classic was in 2017 and she has been clawing her way out of the trenches, putting Scottish wrestling on the map since 2008. While Bayley walked into a ready made scene at the Performance Center, she was busy being a trail blazer. She was busy making a name for herself, winning titles in the UK and Japan. She was a world champion before she stepped into the door and if Bayley had any idea how dangerous she really is, Bayley would not dare stand so close to her. And she can respect her all she likes but it won’t stop her from drilling Bayley’s head into the mat. But she hopes her respect makes it a little less painful when she looks at the lights and sees her as the new WWE Women’s Champion.
Niven’s music hits and we see a nervous Bayley lifting her title in Piper’s face.
We see a video of Logan Paul saying that there is a WWE “mega star” who has never won a title that is looking for him. He says he needed an actual challenge, unlike beating LA Knight because tomorrow, he is competing in the world tetris Championship. He tells LA Knight that he is Logan Paul, he competes with the best in the world, LA Knight is a hillbilly looking ass Aladdin. There are levels to this and to go back to the midcard where he belongs.
-Commercial Break-
Chelsea and Piper are backstage and they see Nick Aldis talking to Naomi. She tells Chelsea to keep her name out of her mouth. Chelsea tells Naomi “ewww” and they argue. Nick breaks it up and says it has been a day and he does not have time for this. He asks them if they would face each other one on one on SmackDown next week. Naomi says perfect and Chelsea laughs.
